Re: [flexcoders] Alpha not fading lable.

[Michael Schmalle]

Did you embed the font?

Non embedded fonts will not respond to alphas.

The only work around is using a dissolve with the parents background color.

  Am I attempting to use the alpha property incorrectly?

<mx:Label alpha=".1"
text="{draws.currentItem.R_MOB_MNAME}"

toolTip="{draws.currentItem.R_MDL_MOBLID}&#13;{
draws.currentItem.R_MOB_MNAME}&#13;AM:
{draws.currentItem.R_RCT_NAME}"
width="100%" minWidth="0"
truncateToFit="true"/>

I expected this to produce an almost invisible text. Nothing changed.
